Important

Safety Instructions

WARNING - Read all instructions before using this appliance.

DANGER - To reduce the risk of electric shock disconnect your elliptical from the electrical

outlet prior to cleaning and/or service work.

WARNING - To reduce the risk of burns, fire, electric shock, or injury to persons, install the

elliptical on a flat level surface with access to a 230-volt, 10-amp grounded outlet with only

the elliptical plugged into the circuit.

DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD UNLESS IT IS A 18AWG OR BETTER, WITH ONLY

ONE OUTLET ON THE END:

 Do not operate elliptical on deeply padded, plush or shag carpet. Damage to both

carpet and elliptical may result.

 Keep children away from the elliptical. There are obvious pinch points and other

caution areas that can cause harm.

 Keep hands away from all moving parts.

 Never operate the elliptical if it has a damaged cord or plug. If the elliptical is not

working properly, call your dealer.

 Keep the cord away from heated surfaces.

 Do not operate where aerosol spray products are being used or where oxygen is

being administered. Sparks from the motor may ignite a highly gaseous

environment.

 Never drop or insert any object into any openings.

 Do not use outdoors.

 To disconnect, turn all controls to the off position, then remove the plug from the

outlet.

 Do not attempt to use your elliptical for any purpose other than for the purpose it is

intended.

 The hand pulse sensors are not medical devices. Their purpose is to provide you

with an approximate measurement in relation to your target heart rate. Use of a

chest transmitter strap (sold separately) is a much more accurate method of heart

rate analysis. Various factors, including the user’s movement, may affect the

accuracy of heart rate readings. The pulse sensors are intended only as exercise

aids in determining heart rate trends in general.

 Wear proper shoes. High heels, dress shoes, sandals or bare feet are not suitable

for use on your elliptical. Quality athletic shoes are recommended to avoid leg

fatigue.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS - THINK SAFETY!

Important Electrical Instructions

WARNING!

NEVER remove any cover without first disconnecting AC power. If voltage varies by ten

percent (10%) or more, the performance of your elliptical may be affected. Such conditions

are not covered under your warranty. If you suspect the voltage is low, contact your local

power company or a licensed electrician for proper testing.

NEVER expose this elliptical to rain or moisture. This product is NOT designed for use

outdoors, near a pool or spa, or in any other high humidity environment. The operating

temperature specification is 40 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit, and humidity is 95%

non-condensing (no water drops forming on surfaces).

Grounding Instructions

This product must be grounded. If the elliptical should malfunction or breakdown,

grounding provides a path of least resistance for electric current, reducing the risk of

electric shock. This product is equipped with a cord having an equipment-grounding plug.

The plug must be plugged into an appropriate outlet that is properly installed and grounded

in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.

DANGER - Improper connection of the equipment-grounding conductor can result in a risk

of electric shock. Check with a qualified electrician or serviceman if you are in doubt as to

whether the product is properly grounded. Do not modify the plug provided with the product

if it will not fit the outlet; have a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.

Important Operation Instructions

 NEVER operate this elliptical without reading and completely understanding the

results of any operational change you request from the computer.

 Understand that changes in resistance do not occur immediately. Set your desired

resistance level on the computer console and release the adjustment key. The

computer will obey the command gradually.

 NEVER use your elliptical during an electrical storm. Surges may occur in your

household power supply that could damage elliptical components. Unplug the

elliptical during an electrical storm as a precaution.

 Use caution while participating in other activities while pedaling on your elliptical;

such as watching television, reading, etc. These distractions may cause you to lose

balance which may result in serious injury.

 Do not use excessive pressure on console control keys. They are precision set to

function properly with little finger pressure.

Assembly Instructions

PRE-ASSEMBLY

1. Using a razor knife (Box Cutter), cut the banding straps that wrap around the carton.

Reach under the bottom edge of the carton and pull it away from the cardboard

underneath, separating the staples that join the two together. Lift the box over the unit

and unpack.

2. Carefully remove all parts from carton and inspect for any damage or missing parts. If

damaged parts are found, or parts are missing, contact your dealer immediately.

3. Locate the hardware package. The hardware is separated into four steps. Remove the

tools first. Remove the hardware for each step as needed to avoid confusion. The

numbers in the instructions that are in parenthesis (#) are the item number from the

assembly drawing for reference.

to damage the wires that exit each part.

2. Connect the Incline Rail Assembly (2) horizontally to the U channel of the Main Frame (1) with

two Hex Head Bolts (104), two Flat Washers (137), and two Nyloc Nuts (130). Secure it

vertically with four Hex Head Bolts (185), four Split Washers (151), four Flat Washers (142),

and four Star Washers (154).Tighten using the Wrenches provided (155 & 158).

3. Connect the Incline Motor wires (46 & 47) to the wiring harness & black wire that exits the

Incline Rail Assembly (2). Push the excess cable inside the U channel.

4. Locate the Console Mast (12) and Console Mast Cover (72); slide the Cover onto the mast as

far as it will go. Make sure the Console Mast Cover (72) is facing the correct way.

5. At the top opening of the Main Frame (1), there is a Hand Pulse Cable (53) tied to a twist tie

wire. Feed the twist tie wire and Hand Pulse Cables (53) into the bottom of the Console Mast

(12) and out of the opening at the top.

6. Install the Console Mast (12) into the receiving bracket on the top of the Main Frame (1). Be

extremely careful not to pinch the cables between the tubing. If the cable gets pinched, this

may affect the electrical functions of the console. NOTE: there is one bolt already installed in

the receiving bracket that will engage with the slot at the bottom of the Console Mast. This

needs to be tightened last, after the three other Console Mast bolts.

7. Place a Split Washer (152) onto the Hex Head Bolt (105) and hand tighten through the left side

of the Console Mast. Place a Curved Washer (153) onto each Hex Head Bolt (103) and thread

both into the front of the Console Mast tube. Fasten these front bolts as tight as possible with

the Wrench (155). Next firmly tighten the two left side bolts with the same wrench.

8. Connect the two Hand Pulse Cables (53), Resistance Cable (55), and Incline Cable (56) to the

back of the console (43). Do not force the connectors; they will only fit one way and are

different sizes to prevent confusion. Store the excessive cable in the Console Mast tube (12).

9. Attach the Console (43) to the bracket of the Console Mast tube with four Phillips Head Screws

(116).Tighten the screws with the Phillips Head Screw Driver (157).

Notice To Avoid Injury:

The foot plates on your new elliptical have a pull-pin adjustment. This adjustment allows

you to change the angle of the footpad to add variety to your workouts. The foot plates are

spring loaded, and when the pull-pin is pulled, the foot plate can drop suddenly. To avoid

any injury please do not put your hand, or any other body part, under the foot plate when

pulling the pull-pin. Only place your hand under the very rear of the foot plate, just above

the pull-pin.

Product Features

Footpads

The Foot pedals are adjustable to meet the

user’s style of pedaling the elliptical. There are

three positions available with a simple pull-pin

adjustment located under the footpads (see

illustration below).The lowest position will set the

footpads at zero (0) degrees, or flat at the bottom

of the elliptical stroke. The second position sets

the footpad at five (5) degrees and the top

position sets the footpads at ten (10) degrees.

Because everybody is different, we found there is

no one angle that fits every user. Some users are

up on the balls of their feet, resulting in numb toes, so we decided to allow the user to

adjust the back of the foot pad upward to support the heel, taking the pressure off of the

nerves in the balls of the feet and the Achilles tendon. The result was relief from the toes

going numb. Some users are uncomfortable at a fixed angle, therefore we added the

adjustable pedal angles so they could find one that feels best for them. A great side benefit

of the adjustable footpad angle is that you end up working the muscles of the lower

extremities in a different way. At the highest angle, you will work the quadriceps more. At

the lowest angle, you work the hamstrings and gluts harder.

Console

MUSCLE ACTIVATION FIGURE

There is an anatomical figure located at the top of the console. This figure will light all areas

that are activated when using the elliptical. These will light up during any of the programs.

You can control which muscles are activated by changing the incline and swinging your

arms. The pre-set programs will determine which lower body muscles will be activated by

automatically adjusting the incline. Generally the following guidelines hold true:

 The upper body LED’s will light any time your hands

aren’t in contact with the pulse grip sensors.

 The lower body lights will activate in three degrees of

engagement: Green represents minimal muscle

involvement, Amber represents medium involvement,

and Red represents full or heavy activation.

 Forward pedal rotation

 Levels 0-7.5 Incline: Amber - Gluteals and

Quadriceps light up; Green - Hamstrings and

Calves light up.

 Levels 8-20 Incline: Red – Gluteals light up, Amber – Quadriceps light up,

Green – Hamstrings and Calves Light up.

 Reverse Pedal rotation

 Levels 0-7.5 Incline : Amber – Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps light up;

Green – Gluteals lights up.

 Levels 8-20 Incline: Red – Calves, Hamstrings, and Quadriceps light up; Green-

Gluteals lights up.

Heart Rate % Profile

The console LCD screen will display your current heart rate anytime a

pulse is detected. The Bar Graph, located to the right of the LCD

screen, will show your current heart rate % in relation to your

projected maximum heart rate, which is determined by your age that

you entered during the programming phase of any of the 10 programs.

The significance of the bar graph colors are as follows:

 • 50-60% of maximum is Amber

 • 65-80% of maximum is Amber and Green

 • 85-90% or more is Amber, Green, and Red

Power

When the A.C. power cord is connected to the elliptical, the console will automatically

power up. If there is no input to the console for 20 minutes the console will go to stand-by

mode. In stand-by mode the console display will turn off. To turn the console on press any

key.

When initially powered on the console will perform an internal self-test. During this time all

the lights will turn on. When the lights go off, the Message Center will show the software

version (i.e.: VER 1.0). The distance window shows the distance total and the time window

shows the total hours of use.

The odometer will remain displayed for only a few seconds then the console will go to the

start up display. The dot matrix display will be scrolling through the different profiles of the

programs and the Message Center will be scrolling the start up message. You may now

begin to use the console.

Quick Start

This is the quickest way to start a workout. After the console

powers up you just press the Start key to begin, this will initiate the

Quick Start mode. In Quick Start the Time will count up from zero

and the workload may be adjusted manually by pressing the Level

Up/Down buttons. The dot matrix display will have only the bottom

row lit at first. As you increase the work load more rows will light indicating a harder workout.

The elliptical will get harder to pedal as the rows increase.

There are 20 levels of resistance available for plenty of variety. The first 5 levels are very

easy workloads and the changes between levels are set to a good progression for

de-conditioned users. Levels 6-10 are more challenging, but the increases in resistance

from one level to the next remain small. Levels 11-15 start getting tough as the levels jump

more dramatically. Levels 16-20 are extremely hard and are good for short interval peaks

and elite athletic training.

Basic Information

The Message Center will initially be displaying the Program name.

When in scan mode during a program, Speed will be displayed for

four seconds, then move on and display Watts (indication of

workload). If 100 watts is displayed, you are doing enough work to

keep a 100-watt light bulb lit. The data changes to Segment Time,

Laps completed, Max level. Pressing the Enter button again will

bring you back to the beginning.

The Stop button actually has several functions. Pressing the Stop

key once during a program will pause the program for 5 minutes. If

you need to get a drink, answer the phone or any of the many

things that could interrupt your workout, this is a great feature. To resume your workout

during Pause, just press the Start key. If the Stop button is pressed twice during a workout

the program will end and the console will display your Workout Summary (Total time, Avg.

Speed, Avg. Watts, Avg. HR, total Laps). If the Stop key is held down for 3 seconds or a

third time during the program, the console will perform a complete Reset. During data entry

for a program the Stop key performs a previous screen or segment function. This allows

you to go back to change programming data.

Program Keys

The Program Keys are used to preview each program. When you first turn the console on

you may press each program key to preview what the program profile looks like. If you

decide that you want to try a program, press the corresponding program key and then press

the Enter key to select the program and enter into the data-setting mode.

The elliptical has a built in heart rate monitoring system. Simply grasping the hand pulse

sensors on the stationary handle bars, or wearing the heart rate transmitter (see Using

Heart Rate Transmitter section) will start the Heart Icon blinking (this may take a few

seconds). The Pulse Display Window will display your heart rate, or Pulse in beats per

minute.

The consoles include a built-in fan to help keep you cool. To turn the fan on, press the

button on the left side of the console.

Programming The Console

Each of the programs can be customized with your personal information and changed to

suit your needs. Some of the information asked for is necessary to ensure the readouts are

correct. You will be asked for your Age and Weight. Entering your Age is necessary during

the Heart Rate programs to ensure the correct settings are in the program for your Age.

Otherwise the work settings could be too high or low for you. Entering your Weight aides in

calculating a more correct Calorie reading. Although we cannot provide an exact calorie

count, we do want to be as close as possible.

CALORIE NOTE: Calorie readings on every piece of exercise equipment, whether it is in a

gym or at home, are not accurate and tend to vary widely. They are meant only as a guide

to monitor your progress from workout to workout. The only way to measure your calorie

burn accurately is in a clinical setting connected to a host of machines. This is because

every person is different and burns calories at a different rate. Some good news is that you

will continue to burn calories at an accelerated rate for at least an hour after you have

finished exercising!

Entering A Program And Changing Settings

When you enter a program, by pressing a program key, then Enter key, you have the option

of entering your own personal settings. If you want to workout without entering new settings,

then just press the Start key. This will bypass the programming of data and take you directly

to the start of your workout. If you want to change the personal settings then just follow the

instructions in the Message Center. If you start a program without changing the settings, the

default or saved settings will be used.

NOTE: Age and Weight default settings will change when you enter a new number. So the

last Age and Weight entered will be saved as the new default settings. If you enter your Age

and Weight the first time you use the elliptical, you will not have to enter it every time you

work out unless either your Age or Weight changes, or someone else enters a different Age

and Weight.

Programmable Features

MANUAL

The Manual program works as the name implies, manually. This means that you control the

workload and not the computer. To start the Manual program, follow the instructions below

or just press the Manual button, then the Enter button and follow the directions in the

Message Center.

1. Press the Manual key, then press the Enter key.

2. The Message Center will ask you to enter your Age. You

may enter your age, using the Up/Down keys, then press

the Enter key to accept the new value and proceed on to

the next screen.

3. You are now asked to enter your Weight. You may adjust

the Weight value using the Up/Down keys, then press

Enter to continue.

4. Next is Time. You may adjust the Time and press Enter to

continue.

5. Now you are finished editing the settings and can begin

your workout by pressing the Start key. You can also go

back and modify your settings by pressing the Enter key.

6. Once the program starts you will be at level one. This is the

easiest level and it is a good idea to stay at level one for a

while to warm up. If you want to increase the work load at

any time press the Up key; the Down key will decrease the

work-load.

7. During the Manual program you will be able to scroll

through the data in the Message Center by pressing the

Enter key.

8. When the program ends you may press Start to begin the

same program again or Stop to exit the program or you can

save the program you just completed as a custom user

program by pressing a User key and following the

instructions in the Message Center.

Preset Programs

The elliptical has five different programs that have been designed for a variety of workouts.

These five programs have factory preset work level profiles for achieving different goals.

Hill

Resistance: This program follows a triangle or pyramid type of gradual progression from

approximately 10% of maximum effort (the level that you chose before starting this program)

up to a maximum effort which lasts for 10% of the total workout time, then a gradual

regression of resistance back to approximately 10% of maximum effort.

Incline: The pedal elevation is a more gradual and sustained progression. Maximum

elevation is in the middle of the workout and lasts for 10% of the duration

RESISTANCE INCLINE

Fat Burn

Resistance: This program follows a quick progression up to the maximum resistance level

(default or user input level) that is sustained for 2/3 of the workout. This program will

challenge your ability to sustain your energy output for an extended period of time.

Incline: The pedal elevation is a quick and sustained progression up to the maximum value

(default or user input) for 90% of the workout duration.

RESISTANCE INCLINE

Cardio

Resistance: This program presents a quick progression up to near maximum resistance

level (default or user input level). It has slight fluctuations up and down to allow your heart

rate to elevate, and then recover repeatedly, before beginning a quick cool down. This will

build up your heart muscle and increase blood flow and lung capacity.

Incline: The elevation in this program is moderate. There are several elevation spikes at

different points of the workout. Segments 4, 9, and 14 are maximum elevation for this

program.
